Kian Emadi

Kian Emadi-Coffin (born 29 July 1992) is a former British track cyclist. He has represented Great Britain and England at international level, and is a three-time British National Track champion. Originally a sprinter, he transferred following injury to the endurance squad, and in 2018 won a gold medal as part of the team pursuit squad for Great Britain at the 2018 UCI Track Cycling World Championships.

Career Born and raised in Stoke-on-Trent, Emadi-Coffin started cycling competitively at the age of 13, and raced in many disciplines (track, road and cyclo-cross), before concentrating on the sprint disciplines of track racing. Emadi moved to Manchester at the age of 18 as a member of the British Cycling Podium Programme.

He represented Great Britain at the 2013 UCI Track Cycling World Championships and England at the 2014 Commonwealth Games. He won his first senior medal, a silver in the team sprint, at the latter event.

After suffering a back injury in September 2014, which limited the amount of gym work he could do to attempt to secure a place in the British team sprint squad for the 2016 Summer Olympics, Emadi-Coffin switched to the endurance squad.

In December 2022, following the recurrence of a back injury, Emadi-Coffin stepped away from the British team, and retired as a professional cyclist shortly afterwards.

Personal life Emadi-Coffin, born to an American academic mother and an Iranian father, attended St Peter's Church of England High School and then moved to St Joseph's College Sixth Form in Stoke to study for A-levels.
